My favourite poster is n°4 because it represents Barack Obama in the future. The date is 2020. We can read an extract from his speechin which he expresses his regrets. Helooks old. It’s efficient because it’s easy to understand. It’s a powerful prediction of a catastrophic future.

X’s favourite poster is N°2 because it represents an ice cream shaped like a penguin. The icecream is melting like the ice cap. It wants us to realize that if we don’t do something now, the penguins’ habitat will disappear and penguins will vanish forever. It’s useful and straightforward.
